4 African Revellers That are About to Blow up

We noticed these revellers at the end of last year and did not have the change to write about them. The continent is breeding some superstars at the moment and I wanted to share a few of them with you. Have you heard about any of these companies or people? Do you like what they are doing? Leave us any feedback that you may have in the comments section below:

1. Dent de Man

Created in East London during the summer of 2012, Dent de Man demonstrates a unique approach to style with a mixture of modern classic tailoring and individually sourced fabrics. Dent de Man suggests a distinct lifestyle defined by freedom and quality, empowering individuals to dress for themselves. Self-expression is core to Dent de Man’s philosophy. Creating a combination of ornate prints and with a contemporary aesthetic, the designs manage to remain both vintage and directional in their concept, highly representative of new-traditionalism. Dent de Man allows effortless, playful style for the free-thinking gentleman.

2. Isossy Children

“Think little sapeurs, think dapper gentlemen and smooth style.” As soon as I saw these cuts I had the biggest smile on my face. Founded by Amanda Rabor in 2010 and crafted in England, Isossy Children stands for a global culture, “In times of change and diverse living, fashion can reflect diverse cultures for up-and-coming generations to own, to claim and to wear in everyday life. It’s for the new global citizens of the world” – via @OkayAfrica

3. Okunoren Twins

Okunoren Twins recently released a new lookbook featuring a wide selection of sharp and dapper suits. Doctrine of Style Part 1 combines fine tailoring and precious wool fabrics with fleur-de-lys symbols – See more at OkayAfrica
